Prevention Overview When using an ATV, prevention is the name of the game. “Had you only known” something could go wrong, you would have prevented it. If you don’t notice your conditions and surroundings before riding your ATV, you give up control over the situation. Using ATV prevention techniques helps you forecast potential hazards before they injure you or damage your ATV. Following the safety instructions and warnings in this manual will help you “P.A.S.S.” the safety test. P.A.S.S.
Prevention Your helmet is the most important piece of protective gear for safe riding. A helmet can prevent a severe head injury. There are several types of helmets on the market, but make sure you wear a helmet that complies with the current standards of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), The Snell Memorial Foundation, or the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Helmets that comply with one or more of these agency’s standards have a sticker on the inside or outside of the helmet.
Prevention Condition of the ATV The second step in Prevention is checking the condition of your ATV. Chances are good that you’ll be using your ATV in some rough terrain, and there’s no way you want your brakes to go out when riding downhill. You need to check the following parts on your ATV before every ride. 1. Tires and Wheels 4. Oil and Fuel 2. Controls and Cables 5. Chassis 3. Lights and Electric 6.
Prevention B. Throttle 5. CHASSIS The throttle should have a free, smooth range of motion. If it seems to “stick” at any point, refer to the General Maintenance section of this Operator’s Manual for instructions. Driving your ATV with a sticking throttle can turn your leisurely ride into an unwelcome accident. Don’t drive your ATV if the throttle sticks. Grass and leaves can gum-up your suspension and shocks. Clear and clean the suspension arms, shock springs, and fenders.
Prevention • Cellular Phone • Maps/GPS • Emergency Kit with Flashlight and First Aid Kit Tools Routine maintenance will generally eliminate the need for emergency repairs. Riding on rough terrain could cause loosening of nuts, bolts, and fasteners. Especially on long rides, carrying the right tools can prevent an inconvenience from becoming a crisis. Carry these items on your ATV: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
Active Riding Overview “Active Riding” is the second part of “P.A.S.S.” It involves an understanding of how your body weight, balance, gravity, and physical forces affect the handling of the ATV. For example, when you drive a car quickly into a sharp turn, your body is pulled to the outside of the vehicle by centrifugal force. Although a car is relatively stable, enough centrifugal force can cause an ATV to overturn.
Sound Judgment Overview You are not invincible. Knowing that the first “S” in “P.A.S.S.” stands for “Sound Judgment” means you need to use yours. Do you consider yourself to be pretty conservative, or are you a heavy risktaker? Before continuing with this section on sound judgment, check your Risk Factor by doing this short survey: 1. Do you drive over the speed limit? 1 2 3 Never Sometimes Often 8.

Environment Night Riding Weather You need to consider the weather. It is dangerous to ride your ATV when the weather is bad or potentially bad. Keep abreast with weather forecasts.
Sound Judgment Trail Riding Outsloped trails (trails that slant to allow rain to run off) make trail riding a bit more challenging. Accepting that challenge means keeping your weight shifted into the slope. Denying the challenge means sliding off the trail. Use sound judgment when trail riding; that means riding on a trail that fits your ability level. If the trail is pretty rugged, standing up on your footrests will make it easier for you to endure the rough terrain.
Sound Judgment Those Around You People do all kinds of things that you can’t predict or control. Riding Companions Leave a lot of space between you and other riders, especially in dusty and dirty conditions, because it’ll be difficult to see the riders in front of you stopping.
Sound Judgment Cargo Limitations Load Capacity Ratings Extra weight on the ATV will also throw you off balance if it’s not distributed evenly, side-to-side and front-torear. If you have 150 lb (68 kg) on the rear rack only and you’re heading up an incline, shifting your own weight forward isn’t going to do enough to compensate for that cargo sitting over the back tires. Max Load Capacity - Total weight of operator, accessories, tongue weight, and cargo on front and rear racks.
Sound Judgment ! WARNING POTENTIAL HAZARD Overloading the ATV or carrying or towing cargo improperly. Substances to avoid when riding: 1. Alcohol 2. Over-the-counter or prescription drugs Be aware of prescription and over-thecounter medications. Drowsiness and Could cause changes in ATV handling, impaired judgment can be caused by a which could lead to an accident. wide variety of medications. The same is true of allergy, cold, flu, and headHOW TO AVOID THE ache medications.
Sound Judgment Your Physical Condition Group Behavior Being physically exhausted is like being drunk. Try to do something that’s detail-oriented when you’re really tired, and you’ll feel totally uncoordinated. Don’t ride: People always do crazier and riskier things in a group than they would consider doing by themselves. When you’re ATV riding with others and things start to get out of hand, decide whether you’re willing to be injured or see your friends injured. SIPDE 1.
Supervision You’re responsible for supervising those who ride your ATV. Your wisdom is valuable... it’ll bring them all back safely—your friends, your family, your relatives, and your ATV. It’s crucial that you consider yourself a supervisor for all riders of your ATV. Whether you accept responsibility or not, the truth is that you are responsible for others riding your ATV.
Supervision Remember that regardless of experience, you should never let anyone under the age of 16 operate your ATV. Arctic Cat and the ATV Safety Institute recommend that all ATV operators ride the appropriate-sized ATV according to age.

ATV Operation Shifting CAUTION The Arctic Cat ATV with an automatic transmission has a dual-range transmission with reverse. To shift the ATV, follow these steps: Always come to a complete stop before attempting to shift from one range to the other or into reverse. Always shift on level ground, or engage the brake lever lock before shifting into another range or into reverse. ! WARNING Do not start the engine or operate this ATV with the clutch shield removed. Severe injury could result.
ATV Operation How to Handle the ATV (Active Riding Techniques) 4. Release the brake slowly and apply the throttle. Leaning, Weight Shift, and Balance Active riding involves moving your body. You must learn to lean and shift When you turn, the trick is to move your weight into your turns to maintain forward and slide over to the side of the seat that’s on the inside of the turn. control. Support your body weight on the outYour safety depends on using safe rid- side footrest.
ATV Operation Wide Turns Sharp Turns About 20% of ATV accidents happen After mastering wide turns, practice during turns. If you don’t understand the advanced skill of sharp turns. turning techniques, it’s easy for the ATV to get away from you by losing traction, plowing, or tipping. Use this method for wide turns: ATV-0038 ATV-0046 ATV-0039 ATV-0045 ATV-0040 1. Ease off the throttle as you approach the turn to slow down. ATV-0044 1. Ease off the throttle as you approach the turn to slow down. 2.
ATV Operation Quick Turns 5. To make your turn quicker, try raising yourself off the seat a few inches as you shift your weight. Quick turns are the most difficult turns and should only be done after you are experienced with your ATV. K-Turns Use K-turns if you accidentally stall while riding uphill; you need to take action before the ATV rolls backward down the hill. ATV-0021 ATV-0020 ATV-0022 ATV-0023 1. Ease off the throttle as you approach the turn to slow down. 2.
ATV Operation ATV-0032 ATV-0037 1. Stop where you are, apply the brakes, and shift to neutral. 2. Shut off the engine. 3. Keep your body weight shifted forward. 4. Get off the ATV on the uphill side. ATV-0033 5. If you’re to the left of the ATV, turn the handlebar all the way left. 1. Shift down and accelerate before you start climbing; then maintain a steady pace. 6. Partially release the brake, but lightly hold the brake lever. 7. Let the ATV roll to your right side until it faces slightly downhill.
ATV Operation Riding Downhill Success in riding downhill depends on how well you know your brakes—take it easy on them, or you could flip over. ATV-0017 ATV-0028 ATV-0029 1. Shift your body weight as far back on the seat as possible. 1. Keep your speed low and consistent. 2. Keep it in a low range; stay out of neutral. 2. Shift all your body weight to the uphill side of the seat; also, support your weight on the uphill footrest. 3. Lightly apply the brake and ease up on the throttle. 3.
ATV Operation Swerving Crossing Obstacles Swerving is usually an emergency reaction to avoid an obstacle but is similar to quick turns. The difference is that quick turns involve slight acceleration in the turn; don’t accelerate if you swerve. Crossing obstacles is risky; avoid it if possible. Riding over logs, rocks, and ruts means combining all the active riding skills into one big motion. Your ATV will respond differently for different obstacles (logs, ruts, etc.

Lean forward and release the throttle when the front tires clear the 1. Turn your handlebar into the direction of the slide. obstacle. 7. Keep your body loose to absorb any shock. 2. Keep your hand off the brakes until you’re out of the skid. 3. Shift your weight forward. 8.
ATV Operation 5. If the ATV continues to roll backward, dismount immediately on the uphill side. Crossing Water Your ATV can only handle water up to its footrests. Any more than that and you risk engine damage and/or personal injury. Stay away from fast moving rivers. ATV tires can be buoyant, so if the water is too deep, you might find the ATV suddenly afloat. CAUTION Riding through water deeper than the footrests may lead to severe engine damage due to water ingestion. 3.
ATV Operation 3. If the brakes are frozen, take the ATV to a warmer area to thaw out the brakes. ! WARNING Do not attempt to free frozen brakes by pouring warm water on the brake pads and housings. 4. Practice driving in an open snowcovered or ice-covered area at slow speeds before driving on snow-covered or ice-covered trails. 5. Learn how the ATV responds to steering and braking on the type of terrain to be encountered on the ride.
General Information ATV IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS The Arctic Cat ATV has two identification numbers: Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and Engine Serial Number (ESN). IGNITION SWITCH KEY Two keys come with the ATV. Keep the spare key in a safe place. An identifying number is stamped on each key. Use this number when ordering a replacement key. The VIN is located on the lower-front crossmember.
Leaving the ignition switch in the ON or LIGHTS position for a long period of time when the engine is not running may cause the battery to discharge. Always leave the ignition switch in the OFF position when engine is not running. 2. To engage the low range from high range, move the shift lever outward and forward. NOTE: The high range is for normal riding with light loads. The low range is for carrying heavy loads or trailer towing.
This switch allows the operator to operate the ATV in either two-wheel drive (rear wheels) or four-wheel drive (all wheels). For normal riding on flat, dry, hard surfaces, two-wheel drive should be sufficient. In situations of aggressive trail conditions, four-wheel drive would be the desired choice. To either engage or disengage the front wheels, move the switch to the 4WD position or to the 2WD position. CAUTION Do not attempt to either engage or disengage the 4WD lock while the ATV is moving.
Emergency Stop Switch OFF position — The ignition circuit is off. The engine cannot be started or will not run. If the emergency stop switch is used to stop engine without turning off ignition switch, the battery may discharge. FI475B Control engine RPM with the position of the throttle lever. Operate this lever with the thumb. Pushing it forward increases engine RPM and allowing it to retract decreases engine RPM. RUN position — The ignition circuit is Throttle Limiter Screw on.

During the first 10 hours of operation, always use less than ½ throttle. Varying the engine RPM during the break-in period allows the components to “load” (aiding the engine/transmission component mating process) and then “unload” (allowing components to cool). Although it is essential to place some stress on the engine components during break-in, care should be taken not to overload the engine too often. Do not pull a trailer during the break-in period. When the engine starts, allow it to warm up properly.
General Maintenance NOTE: Proper maintenance of the ATV is important for optimum performance. Follow the Maintenance Schedule and all ensuing maintenance instructions/information.
